To take this module you must have attempted JAC10126 Mass Communications Project Research, although you need not have passed it.

On this module you will develop and complete a project initiated and supported by the research undertaken on the Mass Communications Project Research module. Mirroring professional funding application selection processes, module staff will select research proposals from the Mass Communications Project Research Module that will be completed as major projects. You will work either separately or in groups, depending upon the proposal, on one of these projects. A project completion plan will be agreed with the module leader, as will student roles within each project. If you are in a group project the group will agree with the module leader the tasks to be undertaken by each person. These roles can be reviewed and revised, in consultation with the module leader, as the project develops. You will complete all agreed research and reports and then produce, to an agreed level of completeness, a mass communications campaign to disseminate the work as specified. This campaign will draw on communication practices in persuasion, advertising, public relations, journalism, television, and/or film, as appropriate.
